    That is bias, because it is something you believe, but it does not mean anyone else has to agree.
    Bias is the wrong word. It's a point of view. You may have another point of view. Would you consider yourself biased?? Hardly.

    Bias come in to play through my ACTIONS. If I delete because of that, I am biased.

    Enforcing rules and responding to complaints is another story.

    It is not a point of view if you say it can not be refuted.

    So if I were to say we are here by chance, you will refute that statement?

    Should I consider you biased in certain areas??

    Yes, but you should also recognize that I try to not be, and as such am quite open minded.

    I'm pretty sure I never said anything like that either. You and others read a lot into simple statements that isn't there.

    Then you should recognize that my actions have in no way affected you. If they had, I would be guilty of bias. In fact, any action I MIGHT take against you would be in a very, very narrow framework of circumstances, that are extremely unlikely ever to occur.

    Now, you might consider THAT to be evidence of bias, but since the same actions could occur in relationship to other people with other lifestyles, I don't think it is.

    Canada's dollar hit its weakest level against the greenback in more than six weeks on Friday, driven lower by a broad rally in the safe-haven greenback and a selloff in the euro as worries about global growth mounted.

    The euro, a recent barometer of risk appetite, tumbled against the U.S. dollar after European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet spooked investors ahead of a Monday meeting of Eurogroup finance officials.

    There is only one way to end this ugly dispute between two Mods: decide which one is the better Mod.

    Well, that was quick. In a unanimous decision, it's Hans by a TKO in the first two seconds of the first round.

    Poor old you.

    Only half as many places to post, so you only use half your wit.

    Reports that Greece has not met any of the fiscal targets set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU) as part of its 110 billion euros ($157 billion) bailout knocked down the euro Monday, as other countries in the euro zone are threatened with being dragged into the Greek morass.

    Wall Street is doing it again!
    Canada’s central bank Governor expressed concern that Wall Street may be getting back in the business of creating new forms of derivatives a little too aggressively. He cited synthetic exchange traded funds, which “have evolved quite rapidly.” Unlike standard exchange traded funds, synthetic ETFs don’t own any assets, but derivatives that mirror the prices of the assets.
